UN, March 18 – RIA Novosti. The permanent representative of Albania to the UN, Ferit Hoxha, tried to explain to the UN Security Council that the speeches of the representatives of Kosovo in the Security Council were legitimate, unlike the speeches of the representatives of the DPR, but he could not answer the question of Vasily Nebenzi, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation, on the question of whether Kosovo is a territory recognized by the UN. On Friday, Western countries in the UN Security Council did not allow to hear the report of DPR ombudsman Daria Morozova. As US Permanent Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Ginfield explained, if the Council allowed Morozova to speak, it would indicate an attempt to “legitimize the illegal authorities of the DPR”. For his part, Nebenzia accused the West of “unscrupulous little game”, recalling that the Security Council regularly invites representatives of Kosovo to speak at meetings. “What happened today with Daria Morozova is an opportunity for us to reflect on how we will consider requests for briefers from our colleagues in the future. Our American colleague said that listening to speakers from unrecognized territories is unacceptable and a violation of the resolutions. But, for example, an invitation to the Kosovo Council of Representatives is a flagrant violation of Security Council Resolution 1244. We will take into account the position of principle of our American colleagues on this issue,” Nebenzya said. The Russian envoy’s words provoked a stormy reaction from his Albanian colleague Ferit Khoja. According to him, the situations involving Kosovo and DPR representatives “have nothing in common, the comparison is absolutely artificial.” “The so-called illegally annexed DPR and Kosovo have nothing in common. Do we need to remind our Russian colleagues that the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion declaring that Kosovo’s declaration of independence adopted in 2008 did not violate international law? must remind Russian colleagues that the international recognition of Kosovo is well known, including to many around this table, while the so-called territories of the DPR and the LPR, annexed by force, can only exist in the plans and Russian dreams,” Khozhda said. In response, Nebenzya said that Moscow had no objections to the participation of representatives from Belgrade in meetings of the Security Council. “But I will ask a question and, perhaps, he (the representative of Albania – editor’s note) will decide to answer here in this room. Tell me, do you consider Kosovo to be a territory recognized by the UN? “, Nebenzya said. The Permanent Representative of Albania did not answer this question. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on March 11 that he would not support the self-declared republic of Kosovo joining the UN and would not recognize its independence. The referendums on the entry of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions into the Russian Federation were held from September 23 to 27, 2022. According to the results of processing 100% of ballots in the DPR , 99.23% of those who voted for joining the Russian Federation, in the LPR – 98.42%, in the Kherson region – 87.05%, in the Zaporozhye region – 93.11%. On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke in the Kremlin following the results of referendums in the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, after which he signed agreements with their leaders on admission of regions to Russia.
